Security is important and there is some good advice from those who have responded. I like cables and lockable panniers and have them on both my bikes (one of which is a DR 650). I have only ridden in couple of countries (and shipped bikes) but have traveled over 200,000 km in the last ten years on motorcycles. I have had no tampering with the bikes by using all the tips provided by the riders who replied. I completed a six month car trip in the mid seventies through Europe and the communist countries. This was a time of no email, no internet, no GPS, changing currency at every border and getting passports stamped, buying paper maps etc. No major issues - used many ideas provided here.
Don't stress too much. Saw a good sign a day ago on a travel vehicle "The mud will wash off but the memories will stay forever" This, in my opinion is true.
